HK Dim Sum - Lobster with Yee Min (special noodles) is tasty !! - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I often come to HK Dim Sum when I'm craving Dim Sum while in the North End of Seattle. It's usually high traffic and busy during the mornings of the weekends and evenings through out the week. The dim sum is good. It's always served hot and promptly. Although the Dim Sum is 9/10 what prevents me from giving this place a favorable rating of 3 or higher is there service is a hit or miss. Some days they're kind some days they will be such in a rush that they carelessly spill the hot steam from the Dim Sum plates on your lap or spill water on you. What's really frustrating is depending on the waiter they will not allow you to leave unless you give a favorable tip. For example: if you decide to pay with card they will check your receipt and see how much tip you gave ( my family was planning to give tip in cash) a waitress said we would not be allowed to leave without giving 15 percent tip although she spilled hot water on my relatives lap and spilled water on our table. when we told her we'd pay with cash she gave us a blank stare and looked until we left the 15% cash tip until then did she leave us alone. Food is great but service is a hit or miss and forcing customers to give a tip when service is bad is a No. read more

First time here and will return. Excellent servings and good atmosphere. Will have to return and order off the menu to try other dishes. The chili wontons are amazing! Just the right amount of spice. read more

Very disappointed tonight. We ordered 8 different things and only 1 was good. About a minute after we placed our order they delivered our rice - two bowls even though we only ordered one. Then it sat there for 15 minutes until our food came. Now we have one too many bowls of cold rice. We ran out of water and had to ask for more a couple of times. They told us all of our items were delivered when they still hadn't brought one. We asked for forks and they didn't bring them so I went up and asked for them. I watched our waitress dig them out by the part of the fork I put my mouth on. There were also the same hands that touched everyone's dirty dishes, water glasses and credit cards/pens. The one good thing...the food came out hot. Too bad, this place used to be good. read more

very strong on the ginger flavor. spare ribs very fatty. very underwhelmed by my order

Looks all nice, service is nice, nice saltwater tank. Food, no. My father and I felt very sick after eating there. The soup turned green! Eww! Go across the street to the teriyaki joint. You won't regret that choice. read more

I've had the luxury of eating dim sum in San Francisco, Hong Kong, Beijing, and other parts of Asia. This place is for real! Deeeeeelicious! I'll be back! (Try the soup dumplings - yum!) read more

I do not recommend this place! We were the 2nd family to be seated this morning because it's Mothers Day and was expecting it to be busy. We ask for our dishes and order 2 bowls of rice. When the rice and food came, I told them the rice is old and we would like fresh one. After 1 1/2 hr and asking for it twice, it never came. I understand that they were busy but we had ask twice and at that point we gave up. When it came time to pay my bill, they tried to charge us for rice and we told them that we won't pay for it cause it was old. The lady gave me an attitude and she want to charge our children for tea that they didn't drink. To top it off she can ran my card and add a 15% tip without permission. I think we probably should have gone to Denny than here! read more

This place is great for legit cantonese food! The dim sum is about 3 stars but their dishes are delish. I typically go for dinner with my (Chinese) family and we love it. Great flavor, not too greasy and you don't get that thirsty feeling that you often get after eating chinese food. Lots of variety to choose from and everything is fresh and tasty. I know "Dim Sum" is in their name, but don't go for the dim sum.... go for the rest of the menu! read more

The food was good but there there was a mix up with our pick up. We scheduled to pick up the food at 8:30 but there was a mix up and they made it at 2. Instead of making it again for when we scheduled to pick it up they just put in the fridge for 6 hours. It was good but would have been a lot better fresh. read more

My hubby (Chinese chef) and I really enjoy this place. Coming from a lot of big cities, where dim sum is king in Chinatowns, it took us awhile to find HK. At first, the quality was touch and go, but as of yesterday, the food was top notch and service was great. Prices are fair, it's in a very nice location at the Asian Food Center, so you can accomplish other things whilst you're there, etc. Ken has always been very kind to us, looking after our needs. We enjoy our trips there very much. Easier than driving all the way to Richmond for dim sum! read more

I visited this place yesterday. When you first walk in you'll see 2 dirty water tank. No fish but two turtles. Floor is very dirty. It is a very small restaurant. 2 large round tables that will sit 6-8 people. And 8-10 tables to sit 4 people. Tea and water was serves quickly. Dim sum was OK. One things trouble me the most is this place needs cleanup. Did they pass health inspection? read more

We tried this place on a whim. It was filled with large families and has multiple tables to accommodate big groups. We asked that our table be wiped down again when we were seated because it wasn't clean. I was expecting to have the food showcased, but we were given a menu and provided table service. The service was very good. The food was pretty good - this was my first time having more traditional Chinese Food so I don't have anything to compare. The decor was a hodgepodge but not unlike my experiences at mom & pop spots during my international travels. The food was good enough that I will bring family for a try. I will also look for other places with a better dim sum experience. read more

I don't like giving one star reviews but this is probably as bad as it gets. I came here with my bf to meet up some friends for dim sum. We usually go to T&T for dim sum when we want to stay local... But they wanted to try something new. Oh where do I begin...The decor was very dingy and tacky, there was plastic Chinese lanterns hung ever where and 101 Dalmatians window covers. The place itself was rather small. You can order dim sum items straight from the menu and they bring it out or you can also order from the cart they push around. All the food on the carts looked like they've been there for awhile, so we ordered straight from the menu. We ordered Shu Mai, deep fried pork chop, shrimp rolls, xiao long bao (soup dumplings), BBQ pork buns and some noodles. The deep fried pork chips were disgusting, the sauce had the most off putting flavor and the quality of meat was bad. The BBQ pork buns were very dry and so were the shrimp rolls, they didn't even come with any sauce. The soup dumplings were the worst, they had a strange soapy taste and you couldn't tell what kind of meat was in there. If you want Soup Dumplings go to Ding Tai Fung. The Shu Mai was okay, not the best. Everything was just really greasy and just not good. I also feel like it was rather overpriced for what it was too, about 8 plates for a bit over $50, you can go to Jade Garden and pay half of that for the same amount of food and actually have good dim sum! Service was pretty bad too. The server/waitress was very pushy. I would have to say no 2 or 3 times when she asked if I wanted certain items and if I wanted to go boxes. No means No!! When the server brought out the soup dumplings she felt the need to give us a tutorial on how to eat them and said we have to eat them all within 10 minutes. It was extremely awkward. She basically forced everyone to have their dumpling when she was giving the tutorial even though I wasn't really ready to eat mine. She than came back a few minutes later to pass out the rest of the dumplings that was at our table! It was crazy, she was like "Okay who wants the last one?" and just plopped them on our plates and took the container away. I also felt like we were being rushed to get outta there and it was pretty empty in there. On our way out I noticed that the people next to us were finishing up and their friend had just walked in and sat down, one of the servers asked if he wanted anything and he said, "no that's okay thanks." She than told him, " well next time if your not gonna eat don't come here." OMG soooo rude!! I was like in shock for a little bit. Yes you can order dim sum all day here but it's just not good and service is just terrible. I would rather drive all the way to the ID in traffic to have good dim sum than eat here. Honestly some of the worst dim sum/service I've ever had. We will definitely not be coming back. Ever. read more

Our usual place for dim sum used to be Ocean City in Seattle, until we went there one day and right after we sat down I looked up and saw two cockroaches sitting on the back of my son's chair. I told the waitress and she didn't say anything but walked over to them and flicked them off and said to me, "Your order's coming right up !" I said CANCEL IT ! WE DON'T EAT WITH COCKROACHES !" And we left. My son started searching for an authentic dim sum restaurant and we sure were happily blessed when we found HONG KONG DIM SUM !! This is the best place to eat, the people are friendly, the place is clean, and the food is authentic chinese food ! I can't say enough good things about this place. My favorite is the Hom Soy Guck, Ha Gow, Chung Fun shrimp and pork, steamed hom bow, okay everything is my favorite !!!! If you appreciate wonderful authentic chinese food then do yourselves a big favor and stop by to try this very special place ! They serve Dim Sum from the time they open until the time they close !!! Now that's service !!!! Don't miss out !!! read more

I have been trying to find a dim sum place locally since my go to place in Mill Creek have closed down years ago. For the amount of dishes we have ordered the prices are really fair. I will be back for more. And would recommend others to come try this place out. read more

We ordered four plates of dim sum for $25.00. Spare ribs, pot stickers, menu picture showed 4, we got 3, seafood noodle hot pot, and wantons in chili sauce, they were actually Sui mi smothered with sauce. Spare ribs tasted off. Pot stickers were not cooked throughout. Trying to push off Sui mi as wantons, what a joke. This place is over priced and under quality. Prices are not known till you go to pay, kind of deceiving, we will not return. Half the price and twice the quality at Harbor City Restaurant. The food that was cooked tasted pretty good, although it didn't taste like what we ordered. The 5 star ratings must be new to Asian food, sorry to say. read more

I now completely understand why this restaurant is getting 1 star reviews. When I went their the service was terrible, the dim sum was luke warm and the place is very disorganized. They had one 2 carts. 1 was for the steamed and 1 for the deep fried I could tell right away that the food on the fried cart has been sitting around for a while. The lady was who was bringing the carts around was rude and was pushy. I would never go back!!! read more

The service was very good, but the food we ordered was terrible. My husband and I ordered from the dim sum menu, and our daughter ordered General's Chicken. The chicken pieces in her order were gristle laden and for some reason sort of tasted fishy. The dim sum was over all too salty. Virtually all of the dishes we ordered were some different version of dishes with the same name that I have been ordering for years. I had lots of tummy trouble after eating here and although we had lots of left overs, we wound up throwing them away. read more

I really ate a lot of Dim Sum here and it was all really good. I had not had good Dim Sum since being in San Francisco about 2 years ago. So I really wanted to get great Dim Sum because there is none in Orange County and certainly not he Inland Empire. I would say this was the best Dim Sum I have had outside San Francisco. read more

This is actually a really good restaurant (despite the nondescript outside). The decor is impressive, the service is very good, and there's a wide variety of tasty Asian foods to choose from, including an endless array of dim sum items. I'd recommend this place for lunch or dinner, by yourself, with someone else, or for a party. read more

Born and raised in San Francisco's Chinatown, frequent dim sum eater in Richmond B.C. and Hong Kong, I'd give HK Dim Sum in North Seattle a solid 3 1/2 Stars overall. Service was really good, hostess and waitstaff were on point, gracious, and accommodating. I have to point out that dim sum does not and should not be inexpensive. That's a common notion that Chinese food in general should be cheap....not the case folks. Remember, even a simple bacon and eggs breakfast entree will set you back $15, so to get some good fresh dim sum which requires a lot more intricate and complex prep and service work is well worth the $20+ per person charge. I wouldn't touch a Chinatown dim sum restaurant with a ten foot pole and you wouldn't either if you read the monthly Seattle Health Department Restaurant Hygiene reports. The I.D. is just infested with rodents and vermin just because of it's location and proximity to the land-filled lower SoDo District. There's no getting around the pest problem in the I.D., just like living in Hawaii. We generally hit up Noble Court in Bellevue but it's a ways out from the North End and TnT Seafood in Edmonds is just too crowded and too snobbish for it's own good these days. You rarely see a smiling, welcoming waitstaff face at TnT anymore, just overworked folks trying to get you in and out. HK Dim Sum is located with tons of free parking and it may be smallish but if the carts are rolling, table turnover is pretty good. i like the relaxed atmosphere to have a meal. I've worked construction for close to 40 years, so I've had my fill of cold lunches eaten on the jobsite in less than desirable conditions and environments. HK Dim Sum today at 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday was busy, but had enough empty small and large tables to accommodate walk-ins. Two of us had $38 worth of hau gau, siu mai, braised tendon, steamed pork riblets, shrimp paste eggplant, tofu skin wraps and of course, sesame bean paste mochi balls. This amount includes an additional order each of hau gau and siu mai we took home. With tip, $22 per person for tasty, SAFE, authentic dim sum in Seattle is well worth it to me. My only suggestion is to please keep the steamed dishes on the carts hot. The stuffed eggplant was served kinda cold today and we'd love to had tried some taro root "footballs" and daikon radish cakes. And we'd also like to see the menu on the tables next time so we can order up some noodles, salt n pepper dishes and try out the soup dumplings along with the dim sum. Kudos to the owner and staff of HK Dim Sum for a successful break-into the ever competitive dim sum restaurant business. I'll be back with the kids and mother-in-law soon! read more

This is the worst restaurant i have ever been to. They give spoiled food but they still charge you for it. We been here a second time since they opened it. We love Chicken feet. we ordered 2 plates. When we tasted it was spoiled really bad. We told them, they replaced with a new plate. It tasted the same. We told them just take them back we could not eat them. The owner cam out said sorry and blamed it on the cook. She said the new cook mistake. But when got the bill they still charged for the food that we could not eat. Bye NEVER COME BACK. read more

The dim sum was ok. They were busy and I got stuck in a corner. They brought tea and water after about 15 minutes. I was shocked to see a .75 cent charge for Tea on the bill considering I didn't ask for it. I'd rather go to the international district where the prices are also a bit lower and the food is better. read more

Not the best dim sum place I've experienced but I can definitely see the potential! This is a very new place that still has a lot to improve. I did like the variety that they had but would love to see more at my next few visits. There were a few waiters that we cycled through who took way too long to bring water/tea/napkins etc. But there was one lady that helped us toward the end that was really great. The price here is not bad, though, especially with the option of ordering duck. Will definitely try this place again in the near future and update my review accordingly! read more

Food is below average, service is horrible. Don't ask for soy sauce or ice water, they'll never bring it. Bring your own if you need it. We ordered their specials but they brought it to another table. I'm surprise this place pass the health inspection test. read more

If you're not near the international district and live north of Seattle this is an awesome place to let the lights dim sum! Also, you don't have to try and make lunch time. They have dim sum all day every day! Prices are fair and food is authentic as it gets. However if you like the clunky carts they push around, you'll have to do without. They take your order off their menu, and bring out the dim sum dishes to you. Food comes just as quick, so have no worries. read more

Slowwww service & overly expensive! I had written an earlier review about 6 months ago this place was great. Now the past 3 times I've gone not only was service slow but I was charged an extra 15% for being there after they closed with my family!? Wth at least explain to us that you are closing and we will be charged. Instead forced to pay. Sad I think I've spent about $1,000 in food with family birthdays etc. I will not be back. read more

Went for breakfast. Unique buffet. Servers bring a cart to your table containing bowls of various items. Your cost is based on the number of bowls you take. Bowls contain servings for two people. The menu is large and varied. As you eat the servers bring other carts containing more menu items. The food bowl selection is too large to include in this post, I would suggest viewing the menu online to see what the various selections. read more

Nice fast authentic dim sum :) plenty parking. Can accommodate larger groups and the meat hanging in the window smells so good when you first walked in. read more

Not the best and not the worst dim sum we've had.The food that was served was mediocre at best. Not everything that came out was pipping hot. They have the usual offerings like har gao, shui mai, sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf, chicken feet, buns etc. The tables we sat at was pretty sticky and icky. The place is kind of dingy. Their prices are a bit high and I think we got over charged on our bill. Make sure you check your bills peeps. I don't know about you, but being charged $80+ for two people is quite crazy. It's not like we ordered anything "special". I haven't been back since. read more

I've been here several times and have always had great food and service! My favorites are the delicious soup dumplings and steamed chicken buns. We've also been offered something extra for having a long wait (even though it wasn't long at all) which was very nice. There really aren't any places to get dim sum (that I know of) this far north of Seattle so if you're looking for some, this is the place to go! read more

Fast service! Popular! The hall manager lady was so awesome! She moves so fast and efficiently. Many options on dim sum. They also heat up some dishes because it's been out for awhile. No food is serviced cold. read more

Given that this place is in North Seattle, the food is very tasty compared to other chinese places in the area. The prices aren't too bad either. This place can get very busy on the weekends and the service is typical of any chinese restaurant. I would really give this place a 3.5 because I love how close it is, but bumped it down because of service miscommunications. read more

My family and I went here as we love trying new Dim Sum restaurants. First they didn't have a high chair for my daughter, until one of two was made available by another couple leaving. Then their food choices were very limited, and different from other Dim Sum restaurants we have been to in the past. So we wanted to be adventurous, after all that's part of experiencing new restaurants and we tried a variety of dishes. The food was AWFUL, the BBQ pork was all fat and tendons and another dish that was said to have shrimp in it was absolutely disgusting. Even the dishes we typically enjoy at other Dim Sum restaurants, we just simply could not eat at Hong Kong Dim Sum. We ended up leaving before we were full, because we just couldn't eat anymore. read more

Honestly...this place was better than I thought it would be. I always have really low expectations of Chinese food in Seattle and I would say this place surpassed it. The shrimp and chive dumplings were decent. The shrimp rice noodles were spicy like I like them but some others in the group didn't like them. The egg tarts were ok and I thought the steamed milk custard was pretty good. We ordered off the cart so I'm not sure what this talk of ordering off pictures on a menu is. I would also have to say the prices were very reasonable. The 4 of us spent less than $50 each. Not bad Lynnwood...not bad... 3.5 stars read more

Dim sum all day, great taste, staff is wonderful, the water guy lives up to his title. My boyfriend is Taiwanese and this place is authentic and cheap. When the place is slammed the staff don't miss a beat. Credit card is a $15.00 minimum. read more

So either this place is a rip off or they took advantage of the fact that we didn't speak the language. For 5 dishes (shrimp dumplings, hom bao, Chinese broccoli, shrimp roll, and chive dumplings (no tea-just water) we were charged $36. The food was only so-so and the service sucked. Overall, you're better off going to Seattle if you want dim sum read more

Despite its name this place serves AYCE hot pot. The ingredients offered was fresh and the variety was similar to other places that serve hot pot but we rate it high because of a few reasons. The exceptionally attentive waitress constantly came to check that we had enough food, enough soup, that we had a strong fire, that our tea was full and that we had enough napkins, etc. Also the herb soup was very tasty even before we put anything in it. Since this is a relatively new restaurant the place felt clean and comfortable unlike some other older restaurants in the international district. read more

HK Dim Sum - Dim Sum Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Are these good reviews from people that have not had quality dimsum before?? I read all the bad reviews but went ahead anyway (it's the only dimsum in the area) I planned on getting take out and when I walked inside, it was your typical chaotic and crowded dimsum joint on a weekend. When I approached the front register area, two people were paying so I waited. Then the lady didnt' acknowledge me even after I said I would like to order take out...tuntil I finally said, can I order? She said it'll take about 15 mins, I left to go wait in my car since there was nowhere to wait inside. (the place is not only cramped, but has random areas full of old fish tanks and dirty storage. When I came back in 20 mins, 3 out of 6 of my orders were ready, I asked her and she didn't say anything, just circled off on my receipt that it wasn't ready. Another 15 minutes, I came in and it wasn't ready. What I saw her doing was searching around for one last order (she looked into the cart and saw the beancurd dish in there) If I hadn't stood there and gave her the pressure, she would've forgotten all about my order, as I saw her jumping from serving tables to ringing up finished customers and answering the phone. Basically, it took 40 minutes for a to-go order.Once she had all orders, she bagged it up and said, there. No chopsticks, no thank you. Up until this point, I was like...eh whatever, didn't have high expectations with classic crowded Asian restaurant. Onto the food: salted egg yolk-the filling tasted soo grainy like I was eating waay too much undercooked flour. beancurd-not a lot of flavor, skin was too chewy and thick fried shrimp ball-this was the worst one, it had imitation crab slices and corn and the imitation crab tasted sour..probably went bad shumai-was the most decent dish from there shrimp & chive- meh egg custard-I was excited for this because how can they get this wrong? It was pretty flavorless...guess they water it down to save on expenses like they do with their fried shrimp I know this is the only place around the bothell-millcreek-lynnwood area but geez..it still isn't worth the convenience. The owners must be new business owners or don't have real talent in the food industry..yucky food PLUS bad customer service? Atleast have one going for ya.. Trust these bad reviews and spend your precious money on another place and take the drive. read more
